A Nice Boat

The winner of this auction gets to name the boat! Decide on a name (nothing profane please) and I will paint it on there in a typical boat script. The name goes on the back on that lower part that is closest to the viewer.

​I believe they call this a cabin cruiser, but I could be mistaken. This is designed from reference I gathered in San Diego.

San Diego Sunset

I just returned from a training seminar in San Diego. I did not have much free time, but I did make it to the beach just long enough to snap a few photos. ​Wet in wet watercolor can be tricky, but it is fun to watch it resolve itself.

Fish Face

This is my entry into the "Fish Challenge" in Daily Paintworks web site. I enjoyed the chance to try some bold strokes. I envisioned each stroke in advance and approached it like a dance.​

Jar of Nails

Another item from my shelves... I enjoyed rendering the textures, the spaces and the glint of light.

Can of Nails

I have several of these sitting on the shelf in my garage. This one may be one my father started. ​

Fruit Basket

I love these old baskets..or crates...or whatever they are called. They convey a sense of nostalgia, country living, and harvest. I like the way the noon sun plays over the various textures here.​

Ceramic Bunnies

This is actually a small sculpture... about 3.5 inches across. I was intrigued by the challenge of capturing the smooth rounded forms, the shadows and reflected ​light.
